Any information about that railroad would be appreciated. For those who don't remember them, the old South Ga. & West Coast (of Fla.!) RR was known as the "Slow Going and Worse Coming." The Live Oak, Perry & Gulf called the Loping Gopher. -- Jim Blease mailto:leds@datasys.net Valdosta, Ga. ICQ #: 19431334
